Panel Components

[Anonymous]

I am trying to figure out how to add the panel components. I have drawn the schematics and have most all the components there. There are some that dont show up there such as the enclosure. But when I layout the panel how do you put the components in. From the panel ribbon I can click on Manufacturing Menu and all it give me is AB stuff. So far the only way I have found is go to the manufacture web site, download the drawing, make a block, then select it from the Schematic Components, then Manual and select the block I made. It just seems like a hassle. Also will ACAD keep this for the next project?

If you have drawn the schematics AND assigned catalog numbers there, you should be able to use the "Schematic List" to pick what components to insert.

As the enclosure isn't drawn in the schematic, along with din-rails and cable ducts, these are inserted using the "Icon Menu".

There WILL be a lot of components that you won't find in the catalog that comes with AcadE, so you should learn how to add those yourself.

Here's a couple of video's showing the process:

Thanks that was helpful. It is pretty much how I had figured to do it.
